Vintage Thanksgiving Greeting Card with Farmer & Turkey
Text on Card
A HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Description
An oversized golden pumpkin anchors this charming Victorian-era Thanksgiving greeting card, positioned beside a rustic farmer in period dress holding a turkey with colorful plumage. The composition showcases abundant harvest imagery with corn stalks flanking the figure against a warm, sunset-toned background. The ornate border of feathers frames the scene, while the bold red text 'A HAPPY THANKSGIVING' sits at the bottom of the card. This chromolithograph exemplifies the era's celebration of agricultural abundance and rural American tradition, blending folk sensibility with refined artistic printing techniques popular during the 1890s. The farmer wears a white shirt with red suspenders and a dark hat. Reference number T.F. 607 is printed at the bottom.
